While city activists clamor to protect the distinctiveness of the Square, chain stores are pushing out the Mom and Pop shops of yesterday...
...Will East Timor get an international peacekeeping force, and which countries would send troops? Indonesia's failure to keep its commitment to ensure security in East Timor has raised the clamor for an international peacekeeping force to replace Indonesian troops. Jakarta has thus far resisted the idea, at least until the Indonesian parliament recognizes East Timor's independence ? which will take at least a month, and is far from a done deal.

The brutal Kurdish-nationalist insurgency led by Ocalan and the ferocious Turkish government repression it occasioned has claimed as many as 30,000 lives, all of which the government blames on Ocalan...
